What a wonderful sunny week, with the weather so beautiful it's difficult to not enjoy ourselves!
This week we have continued learning how to tell the time, the children have been telling the time to o'clock, half part, quarter past, quarter to and to 5 minutes. Any additional practice at home would be really helpful, we have also set some time home learning on Doodle, if you have a look on the home learning tab there is more information on there.
We have been planning our own diary entry this week for The Great Fire of London and some of us have made a start writing our entries. The children have really enjoyed using their imagination and immersing themselves in this topic, picturing how Pudding Lane and the rest of London would have been like on that terrible day in 1666.
The children learnt about a significant person in history, the famous Florence Nightingale. We spoke a lot about how the changes Florence made to hospitals and to nurses and how different the roles of a nurse are now. We also looked at significant people within the community and the impact they have on other. We spoke about our parents and the roles they play in the community, from waitors, to nurses, to cake makers, to party planners, to lawyers and physio's. The children loved sharing and loved hearing about the other important people within our community.
During outdoor games we have been practicing different jumping. From one foot to one foot, two feet to two feet and two feet to one hop. The children then used their skills in a game of jump relay!
We hope the sun keeps shining over the weekend, have a lovely one!
